WHAT'S NEXT?

YOUR DESIGN SESSION

Once you decide you want me to save the special moments for you and your family, you schedule your design session. This is when we make everything custom to your needs. We go over what to expect, I answer all questions, and we choose colors, location, and discuss wardrobe. Everything is covered in a short 1 hour meeting. This takes place about two weeks after we talk on the phone.

YOUR SESSION

From the moment we meet and you decide to book everything is taken care of for you. Whether were capturing moments with family or of your precious new baby. Your session is fully designed around your family - simple, relaxed, and filled with connection. You’ll snuggle, laugh, and soak in every sweet moment while I gently guide you through it all to create the beautiful artwork you desire. No stressing about what to do - I’ve got you. With 20+ years of experience, I know how to bring out the love in every frame and make sure you look and feel your best. We want to capture genuine moments for your family.

YOUR ORDERING

About two weeks after your portrait session we get back together for you to view the best photos from your session. This is usually between 20 and 90 depending on the session we have. This is when we work together to narrow them down so you don't feel overwhelmed. I have a process that makes this easy for you. Instead of taking weeks and feeling overwhelmed we have it done in usually less then 30 minutes and spend the rest of the time chatting. Once we narrow them down you decide which ones you want to purchase and how you want them finished (album, print collection, or wall art). Then I do a final edit and send them off to print.

YOUR DELIVERY

This is my favorite part. When your finished pieces arrive and pass quality inspection, I contact you to set up a date/time for delivery. This is when you will see the photos you ordered in print. It is a magical moment and brings back memories from the session. If you purchase wall art I install it for you. Then I leave you to enjoying the beautiful memories every time you walk through your home.

WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT?

The most common question I get asked is what is the investment?

The truth is the sky's the limit!

This is because we operate with an A La Cart system,  This means you build your collection based on your needs whether it be wall art, a custom album, or finished prints to display individually or to gift to family.

I know you are wondering "why can't I have all of them with the session in a gallery?"

The short answer is you can if that is what you want.  But in the years of doing business many receive the digitals in a gallery and then the photos never see the light of day. They get lost in the camera scroll of endless snaps.

You come to me because you want your photos to live outside of your phone so you can enjoy them without having to scroll. You can show your beautiful family off when people come to visit.  You get to see those precious memories down the hall when you are battling a tantrum.  It reminds you its all worth it.  Your children feel seen and loved when they see their photos on the wall. 

Plus, having the most unique artwork on your walls makes your house a home.  I mean how much more unique can you get then a one of a kind piece that features your family?

Your family deserves more than just phone pics.

In the rush of daily life, it's easy to let time slip by without pressing pause to capture the love and connection you share. Most families have hundreds of snapshots on their phones—but few have portraits that truly reflect who they are.

At Mindful Light Photography, we make the process effortless, stress-free, and actually fun. From the moment we meet I ask question to get to know everyone beyond their name.  I ask the difficult questions before we even take a photo.  I want to know what makes your family special. How did you meet your significant other? What is the most special thing about each of your children? What is their quarks? Talents? Hobbies?  I want to know your families story!  During the session I guide everyone through posing but I make noises and ask silly questions to get everyone laughing and joking.  Having family photos done shouldn't be scary or stressful.  I walk you through everything so you and your family can enjoy the experience.  You are already busy let me do all the work for you in planning and printing your memories.  I promise you won't regret it!

I guide you through it all—so you can simply show up, be present, and let me do the rest.

Your portraits should be more than digital memories. They should live on your walls, in your heart, and in your home for generations. Let’s create something timeless together.

"I absolutely loved working with Melissa with mindful light. She was so kind and patient with me and my family. I have a very busy toddler and Melissa worked so well with him and was accommodating making our photo shoot so relaxed. On top of making our family feel right at home, her talent is impeccable. We are so in love with the photos we obtained from our shoot. She captured our new addition as well as our whole family so perfectly. We are so happy with this photo shoot.10/10 recommend working with Melissa." - Allyson

"Melissa was wonderful and has worked with us on many separate occasions and we have thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. She was always on time; she always had wonderful communication and is a very nice person. She is thoughtful, thorough, and talented. She thinks of things we don't and we have been absolutely blown away by the pictures. We started with a newborn photo session knowing we had one shot at a newborn session and she Nailed It! We were able to relax and enjoy our newborn session from the beginning. The pictures were the most beautiful pictures that we have ever seen. She captured more than what we could have ever hoped for. We followed with 2 Christmas Photo sessions, and Birthday/Family Photo sessions every year since and plan on using her for many more years to come. If you book Melissa for a session, she will take care of everything. Do yourself a favor and use her for any pictures!" - Aaron & Cindy Linenthal - Wirtz, VA
